The City of Wabasha and the Wabasha Port Authority last week sent a new dredge material management plan ( DMMP ) for Lower Pool 4 to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE).
According to an official announcement , this proposal is responsive to the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) entered into by the city and USACE on June 5, 2018, and has the following key benefits:
The 20-year DMMP as proposed relies upon dredge material transfer/placement alternatives generally consistent with the most recent discussions with USACE and would be implemented using a phased approach; phase 1 of the plan would be implemented through the first 10 year section 271(d) agreement, and phase 2, which could be implemented by a renewed section 217(d) agreement, would be identified for future implementation in the DMMP.
